Jeremiah 9
1 Oh, that mine head were full of water and mine eyes a fountaine of teares, that I might weepe day and night for the slayne of the daughter of my people.
O, da bi glava moja bila voda, a oèi moje izvori suzni! da plaèem danju i noæu za pobijenima kæeri naroda svojega.
2 Oh, that I had in the wildernes a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leaue my people, and go from them: for they be all adulterers and an assembly of rebels,
O, da mi je u pustinji stanak putnièki! da ostavim narod svoj i da otidem od njih, jer su svi preljuboèinci, zbor nevjernièki;
3 And they bende their tongues like their bowes for lyes: but they haue no courage for the trueth vpon the earth: for they proceede from euill to worse, and they haue not knowen mee, sayth the Lord.
I zapinju jezik svoj kao luk da lažu, i osiliše na zemlji, ali ne za istinu, nego idu iz zla u zlo, niti znaju za me, govori Gospod.
4 Let euery one take heede of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for euery brother will vse deceite, and euery friend will deale deceitfully,
Èuvajte se svaki prijatelja svojega i nijednome bratu ne vjerujte; jer svaki brat radi da potkine drugoga, i svaki prijatelj ide te opada.
5 And euery one wil deceiue his friende, and wil not speake the trueth: for they haue taught their tongues to speake lies, and take great paynes to do wickedly.
I svaki vara prijatelja svojega i ne govori istine, uèe jezik svoj da govori laž, muèe se da èine zlo.
6 Thine habitation is in the middes of deceiuers: because of their deceit they refuse to know me, sayth the Lord.
Stan ti je usred prijevare; radi prijevare neæe da znaju za me, govori Gospod.
7 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Behold, I wil melt them, and trie them: for what should I els do for the daughter of my people?
Zato ovako govori Gospod nad vojskama: gle, pretopiæu ih, i okušaæu ih; jer što bih èinio radi kæeri naroda svojega?
8 Their tongue is as an arow shot out, and speaketh deceite: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart hee layeth waite for him.
Jezik im je strijela smrtna, govori prijevaru; ustima govore o miru s prijateljem svojim, a u srcu namještaju zasjedu.
9 Shal I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Zato li ih neæu pohoditi? govori Gospod; duša moja neæe li se osvetiti takom narodu?
10 Vpon the mountaines will I take vp a weeping and a lamentation, and vpon the fayre places of the wildernes a mourning, because they are burnt vp: so that none can passe through them, neyther can men heare the voyce of the flocke: both the foule of the aire, and the beast are fled away and gone.
Za ovijem gorama udariæu u plaè i u ridanje, i za torovima u pustinji u naricanje; jer izgorješe da niko ne prolazi niti se èuje glas od stada, i ptice nebeske i stoka pobjegoše i otidoše.
11 And I wil make Ierusalem an heape, and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Iudah waste, without an inhabitant.
I obratiæu Jerusalim u gomilu, u stan zmajevski; i gradove Judine obratiæu u pustoš, da neæe niko onuda živjeti.
12 Who is wise, to vnderstande this? and to whome the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, euen he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt vp like a wildernesse, that none passeth through?
Ko je mudar da bi razumio? i komu govoriše usta Gospodnja, da bi objavio zašto zemlja propade i izgorje kao pustinja da niko ne prolazi?
13 And the Lord sayeth, Because they haue forsaken my Lawe, which I set before them, and haue not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
Jer Gospod reèe: što ostaviše zakon moj, koji metnuh pred njih, i ne slušaše glasa mojega i ne hodiše za njim,
14 But haue walked after the stubbernesse of their owne heart, and after Baalims, which their fathers taught them,
Nego hodiše za mislima srca svojega i za Valima, èemu ih nauèiše oci njihovi,
15 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feede this people with wormewood, and giue them waters of gall to drinke:
Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: evo ja æu nahraniti taj narod pelenom i napojiæu ih žuèi.
16 I wil scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers haue knowen, and I will send a sworde after them, til I haue consumed them.
I rasijaæu ih meðu narode, kojih ne poznavaše ni oni ni oci njihovi; i puštaæu za njima maè dokle ih ne istrijebim.
17 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Take heede, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for skilfull women that they may come,
Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: gledajte i zovite narikaèe neka doðu, i pošljite po vješte neka doðu,
18 And let them make haste, and let them take vp a lamentation for vs, that our eyes may cast out teares and our eye liddes gush out of water.
I neka brže narièu za nama, da se rone suze od oèiju naših, i od vjeða naših da teèe voda.
19 For a lamentable noyse is heard out of Zion, Howe are we destroyed, and vtterly confounded, for we haue forsaken the land, and our dwellings haue cast vs out.
Jer se glasno ridanje èu od Siona: kako propadosmo! posramismo se vrlo, jer se rastavljasmo sa zemljom, jer obaraju stanove naše.
20 Therefore heare the worde of the Lord, O ye women, and let your eares regard the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters to mourne, and euery one her neighbour to lament.
Zato, žene, èujte rijeè Gospodnju i neka primi uho vaše rijeè usta njegovijeh, i uèite kæeri svoje ridati i jedna drugu naricati.
21 For death is come vp into our windowes, and is entred into our palaces, to destroy the children without, and the yong men in the streetes.
Jer se pope smrt na prozore naše i uðe u dvorove naše da istrijebi djecu s ulica i mladiæe s putova.
22 Speake, thus sayth the Lord, The carkeises of men shall lye, euen as the doung vpon the fielde, and as the handfull after the mower, and none shall gather them.
Reci: ovako govori Gospod: i mrtva æe tjelesa ljudska ležati kao gnoj po njivi i kao rukoveti za žeteocem, kojih niko ne kupi.
23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisedome, nor the strong man glorie in his strength, neyther the riche man glorie in his riches.
Ovako veli Gospod: mudri da se ne hvali mudrošæu svojom, ni jaki da se ne hvali snagom svojom, ni bogati da se ne hvali bogatstvom svojim.
24 But let him that glorieth, glorie in this, that he vnderstandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which shewe mercie, iudgement, and righteousnes in the earth: for in these things I delite, sayth the Lord.
Nego ko se hvali, neka se hvali tijem što razumije i poznaje mene da sam ja Gospod koji èinim milost i sud i pravdu na zemlji, jer mi je to milo, govori Gospod.
25 Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil visite all them, which are circumcised with the vncircumcised:
Eto, idu dani, veli Gospod, kad æu pohoditi sve, obrezane i neobrezane,
26 Egypt and Iudah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the vtmost corners of them that dwell in the wildernesse: for all these nations are vncircumcised, and al the house of Israel are vncircumcised in the heart.
Misirce i Judejce i Edomce i sinove Amonove i Moavce i sve koji se s kraja strigu, koji žive u pustinji; jer su svi ti narodi neobrezani, i sav je dom Izrailjev neobrezana srca.
